How to print selected pages

I have a large file and want to print out, but I don't want to print all, just some pages. Like if the file has 100 pages, I just want to print out page 3-34 and 67-87. How can I do?
By the way, I already try "lp -o page-ranges=value" command which doesn't work on my computer because -o <option> is not available on my Unix. So any other command I can use?
